Additive manufacturing (AM) has developed rapidly since its inception in the 1980s. AM is
perceived as an environmentally friendly and sustainable technology and has already …

Due to the wide diffusion of 3D printing technologies, geometric algorithms for Additive
Manufacturing are being invented at an impressive speed. Each single step along the …

While fabrication technologies have been in use in industry for several decades, expiring
patents have recently allowed the technology to spill over to technology-enthusiastic …

The emergence and improvement of Additive Manufacturing technologies allow the
fabrication of complex shapes so far inconceivable. However, to produce those intricate …

We present a pipeline of algorithms that decomposes a given polygon model into parts such
that each part can be 3D printed with high (outer) surface quality. For this we exploit the fact …

In recent years, 3D printing has gained significant attention from the maker community,
academia, and industry to support low-cost and iterative prototy** of designs. Current …

Additive manufacturing (AM) has increasingly gained attention in the last decade as a
versatile manufacturing process for customized products. AM processes can create complex …

We present a method for fabricating general models with multi-directional 3-D printing
systems by printing different model regions along with different directions. The core of our …

Personal fabrication is currently a one-way process: Once an object has been fabricated
with a 3D printer, it cannot be changed anymore; any change requires printing a new …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is becoming increasingly popular because of its unique
advantages. However, AM still suffers from support material waste during the fabrication …
